Comment(by vbraun):

 Right now `xxx_basis()` methods return sublattices in the "embedded
 representation" and the `xxx_projection()` method in the "quotient
 representation". In practice, the embedded representation is the one you
 usually want. I needed the projection only for the orbit closure (i.e. the
 usual star of a cone as a projection on a complement of the lattice
 spanned by the given cone).

 How are you going to specify names for the quotient lattice if not by
 passing it as an (optional) argument to the  projection method?

 Note that you'll also need sublattices of sublattices if you want to
 introduce an extra sublattice class. However, for example for the Chow
 group computation that is all overkill and you only need (an arbitrary but
 fixed choice of) generators of the embedded sublattice.
